Nagisa Beer is a craft beer brewery located in Shirahama, Wakayama, Japan. They opened on 18th November 1996, a couple of years after the Japanese government had reduced the amount of beer needed for a licence, and the brewery is considered to be one of the first wave of Japanese craft breweries.Nagisa Beer obtained their licence to brew beer the year after, and have had the same brewer, Manabe Kazuya, since opening. The name “Nagisa” stems from the local beach in Shirahama, and the area has been twined with Hawaii’s Waikiki Beach for over three generations at the time of writing.
